Reform Bill For H-1B And L-1 Visa Abuse

U.S. Senators, Chuck Grassley, Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee, and Dick Durbin, Assistant Democratic Leader in co-sponsorship with Senators Bill Nelson, Richard Blumenthal, and Sherrod Brown introduced a bipartisan legislation known as "The H-1 and L-I Reform Act, 2015" in the Senate seeking reform of H-1B visa programme and modification of wage requirements.

In addition to retaining most restrictions proposed in the previous legislation of 2013, this Bill proposes to introduce a new system for allocating skilled-worker visas, tougher eligibility standards, new minimum wage standards and other employer obligations, and limiting the ability of employers to place H-1B and L-1 employees at third-party worksites or otherwise contract for their services.
